Not only that, but also the source of income and the amount of wealth should be exposed; tax returns, too should be posted alongside the comments...things like that...
Just because people use "realistic" names and photos, it doesn't mean it's theirs! You can pick a name and grab a photo of someone off the Internet and call them yours. It's hard to authenticate! You don't believe me ask 1000 past, present, and future "real" account holders here and over there on the defunct Iranian.com!

"Content of character" is a deep and precious concept that unfortunately escapes right past those who are self-appointed , fierce opposers of suppression of freedom.
Unfortunately some users do not understand the concept of free speech therefore react to everyone in an unjust manor. When some users believe they can show their anger towards others who don't agree with them therefore there is no need to use my real name.
Bahmani joon Good idea! I have already told you, let I and you and tirita joon meet FTF! But before that I want you yourself to list your other user accounts and names on this and haji said amin's site!!
If you dont do this, we'll do it for you! For instance we already know that amirkabear4u and minimalist jooni joon joons are two of the many other accounts for the same person joon!!!
p.s. you NIAC boys are ruining your health over Fred for no reason! you've been pissing in your pants trying to piss up the wrong tree for years! The real MOSSAD agent here is me!!! In my spare time I also represent Reza Pahlavi and MKO as a hobby. So bring it on habibis! LOOL.
:))))))

Reply to Amirkabear4u:
I disagree. Regardess of the consequences, you should use your real name. Look, I have been doing this a long time. Don't you think I used to have aliases? I tried all of the tricks everyone here has been pulling. I invented most of them. Yet I switched back to using my real name. Why? Because it is pointless to try and make a point when your name is a joke.
Look, I get your attempt to make a poignant pun out of Amir Kabir. I honestly get it. But we're not joking around here anymore. We are a people in trouble morally and culturally. Our heritage and culture is under attack. We have been reshaped and re-jiggered to suit the Publicity needs of others who most certainly despise us.
The last thing I need is for you and I to discuss this, and dismiss the importance of that discussion now, by suggesting that you need to be very afraid of me knowing who you are and must at all costs be required to protect yourself from me.
From me? Get the Fuck out of here! YOU have nothing to fear from ME!
Do you know why? You know who I am!!!!
So I suggest, we agree to stop it.
Trust me, as I have, you too will get 10,000 more respect when you do. Which you deserve. Yes, I've read your stuff.

I agree with you Bahmani as many of your points are valid. But for some other reasons at the moment I believe users on this site are not ready for that sort of honesty.
I THINK YOU SHOULD STAY EVEN WHEN THE OTHER SITE REOPENS.
Once Iran is free and we stop seeing cyber policing by Gestapo baseeji goons making dossier files for posters opinions, then I'll commit to using a real name. That level of trust has to be earned.
(btw, whatever happened to that Iranian women are uneducated page??)
Bruce is just having some hard time getting adjusted to the realities of life in iran, that is all guys. give him some time and he will get it together and be all right.
My theory is that if we don't at least have the courage to stand behind our objection to this form of government, the Iranian government will never hear us and change. Our anonymity ultimatley concedes our compliance.
The proof I offer of this, is that we've been anonymous for 37 years with nothing to show for it. Consider Iran's two biggest defining poilcies are things 98% of ALL Iranians couldn't care less about:
- Opposing Israel (Really? Iranians hate Jews THIS much? To waste this much country treasure on Nukes? Are Israel's nukes pointed at Iran ONLY because Iran threatens Israel repeatedly? The proven most pointlessly wasteful idea in modern history? Really? So are you telling me that Israel and the Palestinian crisis has been on the Iranian consciousness all along?)
- Misogyny Against women (Really? Iranian men in general as a population are this afraid to allow Iranian women personal independence and power? Really? The Hejab has been a mainstream Iranian thing?)
So I'm asking us to think about this, Anonymous complaints, as well intentioned as they are as objection, in the mind of the government, could be ignored, as just being one or two loud complainers pretending to be many people. A troublemaker annoyance. Certainly nothing to listen to.
Maybe if we were smart, and did it safely (like don't go back to Iran where they can catch and silence you) and offered our objection courageously, in sheer numbers of people who stand up and object as themselves, maybe they'd see these sheer numbers and do the math and get the wave against them, and start to wonder if they should be listening.
As it stands now, I completely understand the fear Fesenjoon has of retribution by the boogey-man Iran.
But I don't see how complaining anonymously about it, can ever have convince those in power to fear the tide, and have any positive effect of changing the current direction Iran is heading into.
Khamenei always says, "The Will of the people will decide..." and so on. But if the will of the people is anonymous, even if Khamenei was an honorable man, he'd have to to discount the value of that Will if it is only expressed Anonoymously.
Because it is Anonymous. It could be an understndable conspiracy by the Evil he claims to be protecting Iran from.
Which now, also sort of proves that Anonymity is not just pointless, it could also be very well Evil intentioned.

As usual ur words, and the speech you just won't amount to nothing but a pipe dream and the thing that surprises me the most is that people, from all over try to tell you this , yet you either refuse to see the realities of life in iran, or you are just having fun expressing yourself in such elaborate and sophisticated manner and /or your just blow a fuse and ignore people
People do not want this regime, period, there is no love for it, it is way past the point of polietly and firmly making them hear our complaints , whatsoever. The proof is that those who do dare to be gutsy and go all the way, will end up in jail and before you say, well they can not piut all people in jail, u need to know that many people just do not give a shit and try other strategies . They just put up or shut up.
You know what is unfortunate about your arguments? Is that you are the only one who is convinced of them. I mean just go back and look over the last few sentences.
Bottom line: people despise this regime, don't have no love for it, want it gone and they have made a profession outta ignoring peoples' basic requests. They don't want any reconciliation, any peace, hey dudes let's work this shit out, hey man i buy your next round of beer if you allow my sister walk down the street without hejab , etc.
As you can see, it is all about Mr. delicate and Mr. kerry right now. Javad has his ears and whatever he says...it is like Simon says.... And it happens. Don't deny it because then you will prove that you are delusional. The ball is in their court, and they have got a nation by the balls, and that is that dude. take it , try it on, take it back to the store, or keep it, but it won't change.
All this regardless of Anonymity or lack thereof.
Nice theory though.
